So Caption Competition time - what is Mrs Doyle thinking and what has Lah-Di-Dah Gunnar said to Leon?
Gunnar Chucker
Obviously not the same throw-in... I shall work on perfecting the photo technique for the Cardiff game.
Jaywatch - Episode 2
In this episode our hero gets booked and then clobbered. Not the best of games again from JT - to adapt the infamous CT headline - Is Jay Tabb fit?
Life is a rollercoaster
In the absence of a Blackpool marathon to photograph we will have to make do with these visual prompts for a cliche to describe the football season.
The only pub with its own timezone...
So it's NOON on Saturday at The Manchester pub and we are festooned with Hen Parties also watching Liverpool beat Everton while a full-on DJ plays Twist and Shout for da Sky Blues in da house every half hour and spikes it up with a dancey version of the Sky Blue Song itself. This is where all the dark matter in the Universe is - locked up in a parallel world on Blackpool prom.
Pre-match build up - Blackpool away
Friday afternoon sees the first weekend away trip on its way.
C, G2 and Jim (Old not Young) will be in Blackpool for tomorrow's away game against the Tangerines.
The champagne express leaves Euston at 18.08. The finest bars, clubs, grounds and take-aways in Blackpool lie in wait over the next 48 hours.
And a 1-2 win, with Freddy getting the winner in the 85th minute.
We will be posting throughout the weekend, using the power of the mobile.....

5 points from 9, and ball boys
As I write this our charges have mercifully just held off the challenge of our former leader's Shepherd's Bush gazillionnaires, thanks to an Oh Lord penalty.
The YDO was in attendance at last week's entertainment-fest against Preston, a match notable for so many exciting incidents that I can recall none of them, with the exception of the hilarious incompetence of the new Cashless Card system now in place at the hallowed Ricoh. Fortunately thanks to JL's absence I did not have to outlay for the pleasure of witnessing the dour goalless draw between 2 decidedly average teams (as they will be every game this season, one feels).
YDO is now able to focus more on the push for mid-table anonymity, with the conclusion of the Olympics, the IGLFA World Championships (Falcons bronze medallists, making some friends and more enemies) and tomorrow the World Junior Diving Championships (go Tom!).
Pleased to note Gunnar's brace of recent assists, and wishes CB, G2, and JL a pleasant trip to the sea-side next weekend. Suitable photos from Pontins are expected.
Caption competition via comments please: what is Funning Cox saying in the last photo? I shall submit my entry once your's are received.
Match Day 8 - Sheff United Away
Jim and myself followed this on the mobile phone from a London vodka bar.
Superhobbit scored.
Melts in your hand got fouled by the Sun Ghigh for a penalty, which Oh Lord then missed.
Sun got a red card and an early night.
They equalised.
Game over.
Another point, so could be worse, but mid-table obscurity is looking a bit too comfortable.

City bought by $26bn new owners and sign Robinho
Can the headlines be true? Has Ranson sold out to some of the richest people on the planet? Have we broken the British transfer record to sign a reserve striker from Real Madrid?
Of course not.
We did offload the Show Pony to Fulham on loan for 12 months though, which is a result in itself.
I find myself in the rather odd position of not having anyone in the squad that I really dislike, and it's been a while since that was the case. Maybe a good sign. Or maybe we just have a really average bunch of players. Time will tell.
We will be monitoring the London dressage competition over the rest of the season, and will report back on how the Pony performs.
Of course not.

Match Day 6 - Doncaster Away Match Report
None of us ventured to the Keep Moat to watch us lose 1-0.
While browsing the newly more expensive Times' match report this morning, I came across a thunderous motivational speech from our leader, the Coalman.
"This season will be a long, hard season for us again because we are not even nearly there in terms of being a team that can really have an assault on this league. We're still building. The team we've got here is a good team."
Long, hard season? Not even nearly there?
He's getting paid to do a job we'd all do for nothing, if he thinks it's going to be a long hard season, he should try being us.
If I hadn't given all my blood to the cause already, it would probably be boiling.
Thank God for an international break.
